10Extreme rainfall is quantified in engineering practice using Intensity- Frequency curves (IDF) that are traditionally derived from rain-gauges and more 12 recently also from remote sensing instruments, such as weather radars. These 13 instruments measure rainfall at different spatial scales: rain-gauge samples rainfall at 14 the point scale while weather radar averages precipitation on a relatively large area,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
